What to expect when i have nerve sheath tumor removed from my neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on location: It sounds like what you have is a schwannoma attached to a nerve root coming from the cervical spine. These may very effectively be removed by a neurosurgeon. There certainly are potential side effects such as numbness or weakness in the distribution of the nerve that is attached to the tumor.
